5:30pm - More than 450 high school students crowded into Rock the Vote’s Rock the Caucus parties at Valley and Lincoln High Schools in Des Moines, and then headed off to participate in their first Iowa caucuses. The big turnout bolsters other evidence that young adults will play a significant role in Iowa and throughout the 2008 elections. See pictures of the parties here and here.

Said Valley student coordinator Ali Diaz, a high school junior: “Today was proof that young voters will have a big voice in the 2008 elections. I’m excited to be voting in my first caucus – I get to play a part in deciding who the next president of the United States will be tonight, and that’s an amazing feeling.”
